An extra £1.27/acre on just one product.

Can I just say you are being a tad unfair An Gof. Though I appreciate where you are coming from.

I will make an assumption here, so could well be wrong, in which case I apologise and withdraw. If W Farmer has a regular service agronomist visiting fortnightly or so and providing a full walking /advice service that agronomist will be costing thick end of £100k to run. And no different to an 'independent' agronomist will need to pull in at least £5 - 7 acre to cover costs / make small profit on the walking element, depending how many acres he/she covers.

So for OSR taking a £1 acre off the Kerb treatment maybe about right. As he/she is looking to take £5-7acre over the course of the year compared to non service prices. Its OK saying, quite correctly that the Kerb treatment requires negligible service, as inferred in post #4316, but in the case of a service agronomist, who is not charging for time as a direct item, how is the agronomy company to recover costs of providing the agronomy service and the £100k of putting an agronomist, albeit sales service, on the road.

Not intended to be derogatory to you or WF. But just sayin' as the phrase goes.

Hi, I put it at £100k to see if you would bite. You did so I had better see if I can play you into the landing net!! I do not have a priest, so no need to fight to hard! What price then would you put on an agronomist. I ask the question from the perspective of advising a young 21 year old science graduate. Should they use there science skills in Agriculture/Horticulture or go elsewhere. You reply has confirmed my advice to any and all science graduates - look elsewhere my friend, there is no joy in working with farmers!!

I ran a sales team for a company trading nationally in the agri supply trade business in the past so I know all about the costs

OK, what figure do we think is acceptable? If £100k is not. Lets have a think. Vehicle £10k for the year? Ongoing training / admin £10k? (Gatekeeper is £1k year sub) Then salary/pension -??

So I seem to have hooked a fresh run Salmon on a light weight trout rod and size 12 hook!! I shall have to defer to your greater understanding than mine. I do not have such a pedigree. Cheers. Although the gist of my post still stands.

You can’t be a buyer and seller
